    Description

      There seems to be a discrepancy of the '/elytron/dir-context[referral-mode]' attribute represented value.

      When there is no value set (default is applied), then particular value is printed in upper-case - IGNORE. Although, when we set custom value, then when we try to read it, it is printed in lower-case now, e.g. ignore (lower-case is also saved in raw xml configuration).

      This behavior started with JBoss EAP 7.3.0.GA and is still present in JBoss EAP 7.4.0.CD19. Not sure whether this change was intentional. I was able to find only this issue which may be kind of related WFCORE-3971.

      In JBoss EAP 7.2.x there was always upper-case value printed.

      What is the issue here:

      1. If this change was NOT intentional -> consider whether we would like to go to original behavior (upper-case returned always, including raw xml)
      2. If this change was intentional -> we should probably update so that even default value is lower-case as otherwise this behavior can be confusing for the customer - sometimes there is printed value in upper-case only, otherwise lower-case only. Also, this may be complication for customer automation scripts too.

          • Minor - To be worked after urgent, high, and medium priorities are resolved. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is low, or the complexity or effort to correct it may be higher, relatively speaking. For low priority issues, known workarounds exist or are not needed due to the trivial effort needed to address the issue.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
